Objective　To study the change of the serum lipoprotein(a)〔Lp(a)〕 and other lipid levels in the childhood simple obesity.Methods　The levels of serum Lp(a),cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-ch),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-ch),apoA-I and apoB were investigated in 42 simple obesity children and 30 control subjects.Results　The levels of serum Lp(a),TC,TG,HDL-ch，LDL-ch of obesity children were markedly higher than those of normal.Conclusion　Simple obesity children are at increased risk of the development of cardiovascular disease.

Objective To verify the variation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 (MAPKKK5) gene expression in patients with cryptogenic refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and to evaluate the possible molecular pathogenesis of intractable TLE. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western-blot analysis were used to measure the expression alterations of MAPKKK5 mRNA as well as its protein product MAPKKK5 in temporal cortex samples from patients who had undergone temporal lobectomy for intractable epilepsy (n=10). Tissues from 10 subjects who did not have epilepsy served as controls. Results The expression of MAPKKK5 mRNA (1.001?0.321) and its protein MAPKKK5 (0.359?0.299) were significantly increased in epileptic brain compared with the controls (0.648?0.157, 0.137?0.084, respectively) (all P

Objective To study the correlation of expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1(NDRG1) with invasion of breast invasive duct carcinoma and lymph node metastasis. Methods A total of 71 specimens including 26 case of primary breast invasive duct carcinoma with lymphnode metastasis,45 case of nonmetastasis breast invasive duct carcinoma were observed.NDRG1 was detected by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections.At the same time,the correlations of NDRG1 with E-cad,MMP2,MMP9,and TIMP2 were investigated. Results The expression of NDRG1 in breast cancer with metastasis of lymph nodes(9/26) was lower than that of non-metastasis of lymph nodes(32/45)(P

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy on simple obesity due to spleen deficiency. Method: Sixty-eight cases of simple obesity due to spleen deficiency syndrome, including internal dampness due to spleen deficiency, qi deficiency of lung-spleen, yang deficiency of spleen-kidney, were randomly allocated into two groups, treatment group (36 cases) and control group (32 cases). The former group was treated with warm needling moxibustion method, and the latter was treated with electroacupuncture. The therapeutic effect and body weight (BW) were observed, respectively. Result: There was a significant difference between the two groups in the total effective rate (P<0.05); there was a significant difference between the two groups in the decrease of BW (P<0.01), furthermore, the long-term effect in warm needling moxibusiton group was better than that in the electroacupuncture group. Conclusion: The effect of needle wanning moxibustion therapy on simple obesity due to spleen deficiency is accurate, and it is worth to spread.

Objective To understand the schistosomiasis prevention knowledge of middle school students from areas with dif-ferent endemic levels in Hubei Province. Methods The schistosomiasis endemic regions were divided into transmission con-trolled areas and endemic controlled areas in Hubei Province,middle school students from different types of areas were selected through stratified randomized cluster sampling and were investigated by questionnaire. Results A total of 3 204 students were se-lected and investigated. The awareness rate of schistosomiasis prevention and control knowledge among the students ranged from 65.1%-90.3%. Overall,the students from endemic controlled areas had higher knowledge rates of all the items than those from transmission controlled areas(all P<0.05). The middle school students acquired schistosomiasis prevention knowledge mainly from the teachers,parents,doctors and schistosomiasis staff. Conclusion Health education to students should adopt different ways targeting at different endemic levels in the future.

Objective To investigate the situation of ALT-single-unqualified blood donors and the ALT test when they donated again.Methods There were 3 784 cases of ALT-single-unqualified blood donors from March 2009 to February 2010 enrolled in the study.Investigations were carried out to know the previous situation of blood donation.A 3-year tracking survey on those people was carried out,and the data was recorded and analyzed.Results The ALT-single-unqualified blood donors who participated in blood donation for the first time accounted for 58.14% (2 201/3 748).The 3-year follow-up showed that the returned blood donors accounted for 33.62% (1 272/3 784);1-year return accounted for 46.62%(593/1 272)which was the most;ALT-qualified donors accounted for 65.72%(836/1 272)of the retured donors.with the increase of the times of blood donation,the qualified rate of blood ALT increased.Conclusion More than half of the ALT-single-unqualified blood donors returned.There was a large proportion of returning donors participated in blood donation more than onece,and the qualification rate of ALT increased with the increase of do-nation times.In order to reduce the unqualified rate of ALT test,we should strengthen the propaganda and fixed blood donation team construction.
